PDRs4All VIII: Mid-IR emission line inventory of the Orion Bar
Dries Van De Putte, Raphael Meshaka, Boris Trahin +135
Mid-infrared emission features probe the properties of ionized gas, and hot or warm molecular gas. The Orion Bar is a frequently studied photodissociation region (PDR) containing l…
A far-ultraviolet-driven photoevaporation flow observed in a protoplanetary disk
Olivier Berné, Emilie Habart, Els Peeters +143
Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiati…
PDRs4All III: JWST's NIR spectroscopic view of the Orion Bar
Els Peeters, Emilie Habart, Olivier Berne +135
(Abridged) We investigate the impact of radiative feedback from massive stars on their natal cloud and focus on the transition from the HII region to the atomic PDR (crossing the i…
PDRs4All IV. An embarrassment of riches: Aromatic infrared bands in the Orion Bar
Ryan Chown, Ameek Sidhu, Els Peeters +136
(Abridged) Mid-infrared observations of photodissociation regions (PDRs) are dominated by strong emission features called aromatic infrared bands (AIBs). The most prominent AIBs ar…
PDRs4All II: JWST's NIR and MIR imaging view of the Orion Nebula
Emilie Habart, Els Peeters, Olivier Berné +139
The JWST has captured the most detailed and sharpest infrared images ever taken of the inner region of the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star formation region, and a prototypic…
Photoevaporation of protoplanetary disks by Far-UV photons arising from neighbouring massive stars: observation of proplyds and modelling
Jason Champion
Protoplanetary disks are found around young stars, and represent the embryonic stage of planetary systems. At different phases of their evolution, disks may undergo substantial mas…
